Given the conditions (very windy) and the fact that it was the first time in over 50 years it had taken place, it was more about doing it at all than breaking any records; but from what I saw it behaved quite well. A surprisingly large number of "run what ya brung" road-legal stuff which pleased me particularly as I feel it encapsulates the true spiirt of motorcycling.

I was part of Patrick's "pit crew" so was fortunate to see everything at close quarters. The Vincent streamliner flipped over , outfit slightly bent but rider (or should it be pilot) unhurt.
